What a great, rollicking, creative, romantic epic - this trilogy has been a delightful frolic through colonial America, England, and the Caribbean, complete with historical events and locations. Carolina Lightfoot, the daughter of colonial gentility, has an irrepressible disregard for consequences, which leads her into many and varied situations. Only her extraordinary beauty and luck saves her from tragic endings, and her deep love for Rye Eviskamp carry her through it all. Lords and plots and buccaneers fill the pages with fun and adventure. This is one I will definitely revisit!
